Due to its body and spicy notes, it is ideal with Lebanese and Mediterranean cuisine (baked lamb, kibbeh, shawarma, kaftas), marbled red meat cuts, game stews, and aged sheep or goat cheeses. Is it a sweet wine? No. It is a strictly dry wine: all its sensation of volume and silkiness on the palate comes from the ripeness of the grape and its aging in barrels, not from residual sugar. Do I need to decant it before serving? It is recommended to uncork or decant it 20 to 30 minutes before serving, in large glasses, so it can oxygenate and display its full aromatic complexity.
